This article is dedicated for my friend. Recently I shared a simple trick to check whether our writing was grammatically correct or not. I suggested that she could try a free grammar checker, but she has difficulty trying it. Well, I think it will be a good idea for the others to try this free service too. I know that it's not perfect, but at least it can help us improve our grammar. And I hope my explanation will help you, guys.

The first conditional is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the future. 

Conditional type 1 sentences refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time.
